AT THE HELM.
The Blaine Party Take Trip up the
Earne in q Row Boat.

CHICAGO, July 90.
A special cable from the Bridge of Earne,
Scotland, says: The recent chilly weather
frightened up Friday morning, and Mr.. Blaine
and Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie, with Mr.. King,
ventured out on the water in light boat.
Carnegie and King took the oars, Blaine
being assigned to the helm which he manipu-
ulated with Indifferent success. After a
short paddle up the Earne, the party returned
the ebbing tide making rowing laborious.
The boat nearly stranded on shoal above
Earne Bridge, of the location of which the
party was ignorant. The ebb tide is rather
rapid at this point. The danger of the in
slant was given dramatic touch by the con-
sternation of the two oarsmen, neither of
whom seemed to realize in what position he
was pulling. Blame caught the warning and
came to the rescue. however, by quick turn
of the rudder and the next moment the paste
board toy swung under the main arch and
around Moncrieff Point to the pier.

In Brief, and TO the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one Of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits, and many other things which ought
not to be. have made the American people
nation Of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flour has done won
derful work in reforming this sad business
and making the American people so healthy
that they can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without health.
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for a bottle. Seventy-fve cents.

The Whig explicitly denies the report tel

opponents of the Sherman resolution was
Influenced by advice from Congressman
Boutelle and Milliken on behalf of Mr..
Blaine. Neither of those gentlemen sent any
communication on the subject. Mr.. Boutelle
believes the republicans Of Ohio entirely COM
petent to manage their own politics this year

in that State, now or hereafter, may safely
be left in their hands.

WHAT TINE Is 1T!
4 Question Which Gardiner People May
Find Hard to Answer.

GARDINER, July 30.
Gardiner is Names boasted banner town as
regards general progressiveness, if not rather
keeping ahead of the times. 1t capped the
climax of rabid conservatism, Thursday
evening, by an attempted celebration in honor
of the new ''local' time clock. When the
city clock was set on standard time, in COM
plisnce with the law passed at the last legls-
lature, few disgruntled citizens started a
subscription paper for the purpose of estab-
fishing new clock to be placed in the Meth
odist church belfry, and run on the so-called
"local' time. Being now completed, it Is
proposed to add to the existing confusion by
ringing the church bell morning, noon and
night on this time.
